Saturday

0005 -
	ASIA PACIFIC REVIEW* - interviews and reports from the region. [T;%]
0030 -
	AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS* - stories from and about Australia with Roger 
Broadbent. This week: We’re told that sources, the informed variety, 
are fundamental to journalism. A recent example of this was the 
revelation that former FBI deputy director Mark Felt was the famous 
'Deep Throat'. This week on the Australian Express one of the ABC’s 
leading investigative journalists reveals just how important his 
sources are. Here in Australia the Postie, or Postman, is as much a 
part of our lives as the milkman used to be. Once upon a time the 
Postie used a bicycle. Nowadays they scoot along on a motorised bike, 
which enables them to go further, faster and deliver more of their 
precious cargo. Now we hear that four brothers and a dairy farmer have 
embarked on a coast-to-coast odyssey on Australia post scooters to 
raise money for the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Digital broadcasting 
is now slowly but surely infiltrating our daily lives and its 
terminology is becoming part of our everyday language. Take pod casting 
and broadband for instance. Both are experiencing a remarkable growth 
in Australia, especially in rural areas. The Australian Express hears 
from a telecommunications expert who’ll attempt to unravel the threads 
of our wireless world.
